Rough pub stories

I was working in Reading in 86 and wandered out one evening with a colleague and the only pub we could find had a flat roof. It was on the apex of two roads and looking in we chose the most least unwelcoming bar. There was a lot of formica and vinyl. A older women was sat at a table on her own, drunk, and she had clearly pissed herself. No one took any notice.

used to have a pub called the Man on Wheels. It hasn't existed since someone had a disagreement and took a JCB to it.

I'd like to nominate the Broadmead in Northampton not quite the level of some of the stories on here.
There was a famous incident where the not so bright landlord threw someone out, then the said ejected fella threw a brick through one of the pub bay windows. Fore mentioned landlord then proceeded to throw a stool back at the prior ejected person...... back through the widow the brick had just entered into the pub through.
Thankfully the pub is now demolished.

Pub in Ipswich - can’t remember the name.
upon entering with my friend (who was a local) a couple of lads came straight at us with raised pool cues wanting to know who we were. After placating them, a bloke walked out of the toilets stark b
k naked, went up to the bar, ordered a beer, and then took a piss up the bar. The landlords’ response...... i wish you’d stop doing that.
After attending the football match in the afternoon (which was a local derby with Norwich), we went back to the pub and bumped into some local friends of my mate.... one of whom produced an ear he had bitten off a norwich fan they had caught up with it. Apparently, he didn’t want to leave the norwich fan without something to remember him by.
that was probably the roughest pub i’ve ever been to, although i did have a gun pulled on me in a pub in Sneinton (nottingham). I also ended up in an Outlaws biker bar on my stag do. i have little recollection, but i apparently i tried to buy a jacket from high ranking biker..... and also told them that they were the nicest hells angels i’d ever met.

Either you’d had far too many or that’s a massive piss take. Nice storytelling though. upon entering with my friend (who was a local) a couple of lads came straight at us with raised pool cues wanting to know who we were. After placating them, a bloke walked out of the toilets stark b

What a
!Thanks for explaining though
I used to live in Heald Green, near Manchester Airport, the Heald Green pub could get a bit rough, they built a proper estate style pub called the Flying Horse round the corner which took a lot of the clientele.
I ended up stripped naked with a stripper sat on my face in there aged about 19 at a function in there
Saw a few fights, quite a lot of drug taking and a drunken Squaddie pissing up the bar, saw my boss at the car place I worked at absolutely mullered getting his wad out, five grand or so in cash and the local scrotes clocking it ready to pounce when he left after his dinner and a few more whiskies, celebrating a win on the horses. I thwarted their plan by asking the bar staff to order a taxi and a couple of us ensured he was in the cab and paid up front, no thanks, still an objectionable old the following day, should have left him to the wolves.
Favourite funny moment was a raffle on Christmas, I won a prize, a Dead Duck, an actual, fully intact water fowl donated by the local butchers. I didn't have the foggiest what to do with it so it got plonked on the table, I then had a thoght and asked the girls if they have a sewing kit, they always do and I attached some cotton round the ducks head and slung it over the light fitting above and when anyone came over and looked at the duck, a quick yank on the cotton and up it reared, amazing how much a dusk rising from the dead makes people jump !

Greyhound pub - Sheffield. As a young man in his prime of around 18, me and 2 mates were invited by one of their dads to a ‘gentleman’s evening’
I remember the words ‘if you don’t want to get involved then stand at the back’ being instructed!
I can go into further detail but I’m sure the PHers will be aware of what was about to happen.
(We stood at the back open mouthed at the scenes)
Ok, I'll bite - what happened?I remember the words ‘if you don’t want to get involved then stand at the back’ being instructed!

It's not that exciting...
Pub in canning town in london , was about 18 and part of a sign fitting team from Leeds working on an Asda. ended up in a boozer called the roundhouse, my god was it a rat hole . we sat down with our pints getting very dodgy looks, when out of nowhere a middle aged stripper came out . She was utterly filthy went up to an old kid , removed the glasses from his face and rubbed round her lady bits before replacing the heavily smeared glasses back on his face. ewww !!! we supped up and buggered off pretty fast

I give you my local nightclub in Moscow ( yes Russia ) many years ago. Stumbled in after a boozy dinner in our local Irish bar opposite (Molly Gwynns not at all rough!)
In the club was a hells angel president and Vice President from all the Scandinavian countries.
I went to the bar and promptly knocked over the beer of the big fella in the middle of the photo. “Viking” president of Malmo. He seemed to be sort of in charge of all of them. Had the potential to go all sorts of wrong that night!

Ps. The Green dragon is in Lymm. Maybe it wasn't as rough as you thought
